Taken from the question about acid thread.

Spent too much time on this post so I'm not about to let it get dusty and fall into the totse hole unnoticed ;)

Anyway, this thread is all about your ideal acid trip. Mostly keeping to the two key rules for psychedelics: set and setting. For those of you not in the know, set is mindset. Setting is the surroundings in which the trip takes place. These two rules are the most important and play an integral part in the trip.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Really strong acid trips and relatively low dose trips are completely different. I've always been a fan of strong acid trips.

I've gotten many people to trip with me their first time. They usually trust my judgment on dose, so I ask them if they'd be against a pretty strong trip. Most of the time they say no.

I always end up tripping with them for the entirety of the night. Line up certain activities -- yanno, the truly enlightening experiences.

About 20 minutes after dosing I'll play the Yellow Submarine DVD to come up on. The movie is ridiculously psychedelic and generally will put someone in a good mind set. At the end, they're coming up pretty hard, and they'll have a pretty serious distortion of time, not having a clue how much time just passed. That movie can do it. Also have some cool posters to look at:

Usually after the movie I'll take them outside to smoke a bowl. That'll usually kick things into high gear for them. I have an excellent place for tripping. Shitty quality but you get the idea.

During the day, plenty of different colored trees and other plants around to look at, and a decent amount of room to explore. At night, usually have a very nice dark sky because of the little light pollution around where I live. Some nights you can see hundreds of stars.

Until sunset I usually play them some good acid music. Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Shpongle, Younger Brother, are some excellent examples. Also, if you like the Beatles, their acid phase has some excellent songs and albums. I highly recommend their CD "LOVE". Pretty much a perfect acid album. Look it up, you'll find it.

Once the sun starts setting I'll take them to the fire pit at the bottom. Here's where they get completely lost.

Staring at a fire on acid can take you places. I can't even describe it, really. It puts you in a complete trance state, and your mind wanders all over. Just...just do it. I have these color changing fire sticks that just make it all the more amazing:

http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/ce/b/AAAAAmeeHR4AAAAAAM67tQ.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Once it's completely dark I'll put the fire out. By then they've done a lot of mind clearing. These are the beneficial parts on acid in my opinion. Acid is a good tool for cleaning your mind. 'Dusting' it off, if you will.

Fire's out, the sky is dark. I have a lot of cool LED toys to play with in the dark. I'll usually give them a bit of a light show to some music. Very good combination. Why do you think you see it all the time at festivals and concerts? This is usually when I break out the nitrous too.

Looking at the starry sky is just amazing on acid. Seeing the things stars do is pretty intense. Add a few blinking plane nights and hundreds of fire flies, and your jaw will drop
Spend a lot of the evening outside in the dark.

All the filler time in between can be spent doing whatever, but a lot of what I just said will occupy a good portion.

Eat fruit! Apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries. They all taste great and are good nutrients for the trip.

Use my examples as set and setting. Obviously they are a rough guideline, but doing those things has made EVERYONE who has tripped with me for their first time greatly enjoy the experience. They are by far the most important parts of the trip.

Trip safe.

TL;DR? - Move along.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, trippers of totse, I ask you: What's your ideal acid trip?

I'm not motivated enough to write my lengthy ideal trip; I've never regretted a trip, they're all special in their own way. Your trips seem pretty amazing though.

My only advice to people would be make your room (or where ever you intend to trip) as interesting, thought-provoking, enigmatic, and colorful as possible. This can be easily accomplished by hanging awesome posters and such.

And don't forget to go outside.

I'm to lazy to write one up but yours sounded awsome.

I definately need to get some of those things that change the color or fire.

http://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Color-Fire-Sticks/dp/B000KJZVPA

You can make your own but I'm kind of lazy to do that so I just buy them. If you want to though, just google it and you can find out how to make your own. If I remember correctly you pretty much just need candlewax and a couple different chemical salts for various colors.

The pictures don't do it justice. So much cooler in real life because the colors are constantly changing and blending differently.

maybe I´ll contribute into this thread later, but for now I say, nice entry.

My room is a fucking tripping den. Nearly every inch of my walls are covered with some kind of eye candy. I have a bunch of different colored lights that make a rainbow of light on the ceiling. Pretty damn cool to look at. I also have one of those glitter lamps (similar to lava lamps, but full of glitter instead) that has an effect very similar to water reflection. Great addition to the existing colors on the ceiling, and gives them all a rippling effect. If things get too intense for someone I usually leave them to their thoughts in my room. Usually is very calming to them.

Hard to describe properly, really.

My room is a fucking tripping den.
nice, that´s the way to have it. I used to have one, too. it was a room all purple, walls, furnitures, sheets, tabel covers, curtains, speakers, on slighly different shades. UV-lights, incents, yellow warning light, glow in the dark 4-player self made chess board, and what not.

Nice one Darkus

Trips for me are most respected when I'm home alone, having a 10 strip (not all eaten...but just in case)
It's easier to push yourself when you are alone, you don't have that other persons twisted personality rubbing onto yours

The peace of having absolutely no one interfering with the day/night is an important key of having a great trip

Music is important, psytrance producers like Spectrum, Procs, Bufo, Kayab Project, Flower Powder...The list goes on, but these few are great at what they do

Instead of hating the comedown we can come to love and appreciate them, as I'm able to lay in bed and still having some effects present, meditation comes easy. Leaving it up to me to take advantage of that moment


The best thing to know is that these experiences are a gift purely given to us, and the powers that be are trying to take that away from us

To understand how much beauty there is in life, knowing that there is more to our everyday perception of reality.........A substance that brings all of this, has to put itself on the top of the list
Acid is powerful, the best for this and most of these substances are better not misused, abusing acid can be pretty fucked up

I have two Ideal trips. But one of them is every trip....

1. Take LSD with two-four good friends and see what the world throws at us, although this can lead to what some people call "Bad Trips" none of us have ever regretted some of our more difficult experiences on acid, and have usually learned something.

2. In nature. Completely out there, and I dont know how much backpacking BLTC folks do but when I say this I mean, far, far, far away from any trail, road, or other people (besides those you are with) in a wilderness area. Preferbally after at least a week of being out there so you have become in touch with nature. I love going on extended stays (30 days plus) in the wilderness not seeing any other people, and harldy even seeing planes for christ sake, just trees, animals, vegataion and mountains, with some good pot, and psychedelics.

To thread starter: Your trips sounds very much like some of my earlier experiences with LSD.

I usually start 4 hours before dark, so we can end the trip in the dark and enjoy some pretty stuff outside while peaking. I start with a movie after dropping, doesn't matter which. Any good movie that is enjoyable will take your mind off the fact that you're waiting for an acid trip to start. I'll also have some nice food like fruits and veggies. Tastes amazing while tripping, and can keeps your body full of vitamins and water. After the movie is over and we're tripping, time to go outside. Just explore a bit, do whatever your mind wants.

That's all I ever plan. After I go outside, sometimes I stay out there for its entirety. Or sometimes I'll go inside and jam to music and put on my disco lights.

I dunno, they're always different. The beginning is all I have the willpower to control.

For sure a great time, but things can start getting a little crazy for some people to handle. The mental connections going on, you know. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Hell yeah man. There's a large nature reserve near where I live. 800 acres. It's got every kind of terrain you can think of. Small mountainous parts, creeks, lakes, hills, fields, PLENTY of woods. It's pretty tops. Everywhere surrounding the reserve are huge farms anyway, so a huge portion of where it is is just very natural and secluded.

Ha...there's even stacked rocks EVERYWHERE. Literally all over the preserve. Stacked rocks are a definite sign people go there tripping quite often.

To thread starter: Your trips sounds very much like some of my earlier experiences with LSD.

They're definitely all fairly common acidtivites, but a lot of people don't really think of this for some reason. A lot of people are so hung up on taking acid at a party or at school or something equally retarded.

A lot of people don't realize it's potential or what it can show your mind. It opens your third eye that many people don't know exists.

Sure, they're common things to do on trips. But in my opinion they're also some of the best.

If you play an instrument and have any friend(s) that does, definitely try jamming with them. Make sure they're tripping too, though. Another amazing hard to describe feeling. Musically connecting through someone is a wonderful experience.

Preparation is essential.

I like to begin with a hearty breakfast. Nothing greasy, though. Oatmeal is good, and fruit. I don't like to fast, because it screws with my normal metabolism, but I restrict myself to small snacks throughout the day.

I'll spend the day cleaning. Tidying up the external world helps to declutter the internal one as well. Chaos and disarray works just fine for me most of the time, but it's not conducive to a good trip. I'll collect the various trippy implements that have been strewn about the house since the last experience [sometimes one simply needs to drag the black light into the bathroom to have a bubblebath and a joint...]

A bit of meditation is often desired. Sometimes it's good old "I am my belly-button" zazen-type stuff, sometimes it's a cup of tea and a warm blanket and a good book.

The actual trip varies quite a bit. Some days you tape LEDs to the ceiling fan and zone out on the bed with headphones and a synthesizer. Other times it's necessary to fire up the projector in hyper-feedback zebrascope mode. Sometimes you just have to sit in the woods with a friend or two, and sometimes it takes fog machines and lasers.

I wish I had a ceiling fan :(

and the necessary equipment for feedback :(

Blacklights and drawing with highlighters is very cool too. Any kind of drawing in general, actually.

Lava lamps, color dripping candles, and this thing (http://laserpod.com) are all cool visual entertainment.

Delivered via needle whilst on the roof of an inner city building.

Nothing matters after that.

What about in the outback under the stars with your didgeridoo?

I start with a movie after dropping, doesn't matter which. Any good movie that is enjoyable will take your mind off the fact that you're waiting for an acid trip to start.

Some fine examples:
Yellow Submarine
Fantasia
Alice in Wonderland
Fear and Loathing
The Grateful Dead Movie
Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii (not the Wall...a bit too creepy for acid. Too many people make that mistake. Just because a movie is trippy does not mean it's good to watch tripping)

Also, near the peak of the trip I like doing the Space Odyssey/Echoes sync. You can find the sync online but I like it doing it on my own because the video and sound quality are both better.

Echoes is 23 minutes long, as is the final sequence in 2001 A Space Odyssey (Jupiter and Beyond the infinite). Excellent sync if you ask me. Blows Dark Side of the Oz out of the water.

Interesting fact about this is Stanley Kubrick originally approached Pink Floyd to do the music for 2001, and Floyd denied. Roger Waters says it's the biggest career mistake he's made.

That's all I ever plan. After I go outside, sometimes I stay out there for its entirety. Or sometimes I'll go inside and jam to music and put on my disco lights.

Sometimes being outside for the entire trip is all you need. Like I said in my original post I just like doing different forms of meditation. Looking at a fire, listening to music, and staring at the stars are all going to put you in a different mindset and give you different though patterns, so I usually try to explore my mind as much as I can per trip.

The activities remain similar, but the trip is never the same.

does acid fuck with your emotions like mushrooms do?

It definitely can, which is why (mind)set plays a huge roll in the trip.

If you are strongly emotional (sad, angry, depressed, whatever) before entering the trip there's a chance you will get caught in the spiral logic of said emotion. It can be hard to pull yourself out of those particular thinking patterns.

With that said, though, I always seem to get more emotional on shrooms, and more confused too.

Even on high acid doses I still feel more in control of my mind than I do on mushrooms, but to each his own I guess. I strongly prefer acid to mushrooms but some people are the exact opposite. Just depends on who you are.

well i strongly dislike the way shrooms make me feel. the confusion and the mixed emotions. considering giving acid a try though. i thought it might be better since acid is synthetic and psylocibin(??) seems more like an agent that deters other organisms from eating them.

Do it up man. There's a lot of good advise from everyone in this thread, so just read it over and take a few pointers. All of what's been said in this post will provide some good times on acid.

oooo please bestow more of your God paralleled knowledge on me Darkus!!!

I can't tell if you're parodying the other thread or not :P

i am, i thought it was funny

In that case, it was funny :D

Good fucking post man. You can tag threads here now?

My favorite acid trip to date was my second. Me, my girlfriend and another friend just hung out at her house, went to get some chips, went to the pub and then slept over at another friends house. Wasn't mad, wasn't crazy, but it was an almost unbearably pleasant evening. :D

I think an important bit of advice to first timers is not to try to plan loads of crazy things... living life relatively normally whilst tripping is a refreshing and fun experience as well...

Well planning can be rather important sometimes too. It's good to be prepared than the not be prepared for something you're not ready for.

As I said in the original post, those things aren't set in stone, but in my experiences they are generally the most thought provoking things to do on acid. Especially with fire and the stars.

The things I listed in the OP simply are my general preferences for an acid trip. By no means do I do that every single time, just happens that usually when I'm alone on a good bit of acid those are the things I enjoy doing.

Be prepared, but don't be afraid to deviate from the planned activities. It's like vacation :D

I just want to know what that first picture is, or where you got it. The warriorwomanvk1.jpg one. It's fucking badass.

I bought it from some crazy hippie art commune at a music festival.

The artist on the drawing says Wulf Zendik.

It's fucking ridiculously psychedelic. Especially when looking at it with music.

Print it up and try it, maybe it's big enough resolution and the quality isn't too shitty to get a good idea of what it looks like.

Clear your body -

A week or two before the trip I recommend putting the junk food on hold for a while. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try to eat as little artificial ingredients as possible. Drink plenty of water, milk, and juice instead of cola or something similar.

Exercise a bit. I'm not talking buff bodied weight-o-holic, but enough to make you feel physically pepped up.

Physically you will feel much better. You will be more healthy and have more energy for the journey that's about to come. You will need it.

Clear your mind -

Meditation helps clear the mind. Practice with various techniques, some people prefer one method to another. At least an hour a day for 2 weeks is usually standard for me.

Try to avoid negative stimuli. Stressful and strongly emotional situations close to the scheduled trip can effect your mindset for the trip.

Most of all, play safe. LSD is one of the most wonderful drugs on this planet, but it can also be dangerous in the wrong hands. It has much to show you. Respect it's power.

P.L.U.R.

My ideal trip would be, if at night, out under the starts on a blanket with my girl and some music, the kind of connection you get, even just sitting next to that person lost in thoughts is one of the most personal intimate things I can imagine. If during the day, I would spend the day at the waterfall jumping off and swimming in the pool at the bottom and exploring the woods.

After my last bad trips I always bring along a bottle of whiskey or some beer. It sounds like a cop out, but when you get into that gut wrenching paranoia, a few drinks can lighten your mood wayyyyy up.

Yeah, tripping with a significant other can do some major bonding. Just like the experiments with MDMA in marriage counseling type stuff that they were doing, I think LSD would be a great too for that as well. It brings people closer than anything else can, really.

And yeah, I always have a bottle of some kind of alcohol and some benzos should things get bad for myself or the person I'm tripping with. Some people get very overwhelmed so 1mg of xanax and some valium will usually calm them a good bit.

This thread is relevant to my interests.

I think one of the more interesting things I've experienced on a strong dose, was driving down this long straight road while it's pitch black, and then just cutting off the lights and coasting for a while.

Talk about intense!

I'd like to try acid some time, but at what age is it safe to try? I don't wanna get a bad trip if it can be prevented.

This doesn't apply to everyone, of course, but I don't think you should do acid until you're 16 at least.

When you're in your early teens your brain is at it's peak stage of development, physically and mentally. Your brain is still growing. You're still becoming who you are. You're still learning about yourself, and the real world. Taking acid before you've completely bloomed into who you are can seriously alter the outcome. Many times for the better, but sometimes for the worse.

1. With girlfriend/spouse/significant other

2. Redwood national parks in California

3. Carrying an ipod with a premade playlist of all your! music

4. During the come up have sex...You'll be satisfied, relieved, and open to the upcoming trip

5. A big box of oranges...

1. With girlfriend/spouse/significant other

Yeah, it's an excellent bonding experience. If you've got someone you're romantically involved with try getting them to trip with you. I'm sure they'll have a good time.

2. Redwood national parks in California

One of the destinations I plan on going to for sure.

Also wanna trip at the Grand Canyon.

3. Carrying an ipod with a premade playlist of all your! music

Every time I go to the nature reserve :)

4. During the come up have sex...You'll be satisfied, relieved, and open to the upcoming trip

Another very amazing bonding experience. Of course, they have to be tripping too. That goes without saying, though, even though I just said it.

5. A big box of oranges...

Hells yes. I prefer clementines but they're pretty much the same. Just more delicious in my opinion :)

I'll have to try with clementines sometime;)

I like to drop right when I wake up, and just wander around town...

So much more flavor in my opinion :D

Plus they're smaller so you can carry a whole lot and easier to peel.

Other than being slightly more expensive clementines are for the win.

Something like aurora borealis. The smoothness of the lights. CEV would be nice too. I love fractals. Watching the walls breathe when i tried LSD was the most amazing thing. I can't explain.

Tripping under the northern lights is another goal of mine before I die. Can't even imagine what that's like, especially since there are lots of stars out that way too. Almost a perfect dark sky.

Anyway, walls breathing is definitely one of the more mild visuals acid can give you. There are some things that brainfuck you so good you can't properly put them into words.

I'll be honest, I Didn't read the entire selection of replies this thread has to offer, but I can safely say the OP was tripping BALLS when he wrote this.

I have nothing else to contribute to this thread, and I'm very sorry, no, I really am.

Peace.

My ideal trip?
Well, I'd find someone who would hook me up.

I'd trip just knowing that someone in my area sells that shit.
(I've never had the opportunity to try it. Yet.)

Somewhere between five and six hundred micrograms, sublingually absorped in a drop or two of honey. Deep-shag, ultra soft carpeting. LEDs/soft glowing 'stars' all over the ceiling. Hendrix. Lots, and lots of hendrix. Some Rob Dougan later on, and Cat Stevens for the sunrise. A full-body massage from my significant other, the pair of us lying beside the fire on the carpet. if/When the massage ends, fur rugs and some kind of ultra-comfortable ultra-warm mattress/beanbag/pile of fur to fall into and sleep away the next day.

The other option, though, the one I usually have happen, is eating about fifty mushrooms and a half-dozen tabs and going to a doof, spending the entire night either sprinting headlong about the bush, sitting by the fire playing Jim Croce songs and eating tinned chilli, or wandering the paths, fire drumming and breathing.

The latter tends to happen a lot. I'm still waiting for the former. Either one will require endless supplies of cigarettes, though.

Actually I wasn't :)

A full-body massage from my significant other, the pair of us lying beside the fire on the carpet.

You should try that while candyflipping. It is heavenly.

This. Though, as cool as that would be, I would kind of feel ruined on tripping after that. I mean, I kinda look at it like this, each psychedelic experience is unique, of course, but for ME the point is to PUSH that fucking envelope.


I have several examples of this.



My mushroom trip. For those of you who DO NOT know about this crazy shit that totally changed my life, search this forum for the word "allison" and posts by me.


Anyway, my point is, that was an EPIC fucking trip, and since then, it's just not the same. Sure it's fun, sure there are things to be learned still, but I feel that it doesn't get any further than where I was. I mean, it can't. After that is death. Fucking wow that shit was nuts.


And my next example would be LSD. I first tried 1 hit of what was said to be good liquid, dropped straight onto candy, and then into my mouth. Excellent experience.


So from there, I've always eaten a maximum of two hits. Then, one day, I hear it's around, I go scope it out, and the dude, who I love to death, and is a very dear friend of mine, has this little hobby or game he likes to play.


He has a fetish for unknown, and purposefully miscalculated dosages. So, he will dose certain people totally at random, and without their knowledge, or give you one drug, claiming it to be a totally different drug, or, give you what he claims to be a dose, and it is actually another.


He did the very last to me. I bought two hits, for twenty bucks, he hands me what he claims are two and a half hits of plain white blotter. Now, these were some very long hits. I simply assumed that the way it was layed, it ended up being a little more spread out, as in, weak shit. So you need a longer dose.


Yeah, well, no. I mean, I totally trust the guy 100%, and had already consented to his little game in advance (he tells people, and asks them, and then months later BAM).

So I go home, eat my hits, and decide to smoke a bowl and watch some TV while I wait.



What I thought was gonna be a night of roaming the city tripping my balls off ended up with me curled up in a corner for hours, tasting, smelling, seeing, and hearing an infinite number of colors, sounds, smells, and images, ALL of them at once, ALL of them somehow intertwined, or, like, paired with another.

Each sound has a taste, as well as an image. etc etc on to infinite.

It was fucking sensory overload. I couldn't take it. I mean, I knew what was up, and was mostly in control of my mind and all that, you know, thought processes, but I was getting SO MUCH sensory input, that I simply could not move or function. I was able to go from room to room here and there, but most of the peak was spent in a corner marveling at just how fucking good purple tastes. No wonder niggers like kool aid.

It was TWENTY FIVE hits. Not two and a half. The motherfucker dosed me with two and a half TEN STRIPS. For $20. So, I can't really complain LOL.


And again, back to the topic at hand, after that trip, it's not good enough. I want to get back to that same point, and if I can't, I feel a bit sad.


So tripping balls under the northern lights would probably be fucking great, but I think I'd like to wait until I am at least Metas age. Then I can use my SS check to buy the acid. Just fuckin with ya Meta.

Northern lights would be awesome.

Last night I ate an eighth of shrooms, and right about when I peaked I got greedy and ate some acid out of my stash.

I don't know how to sum up the night. Magnificent works. Yeah. I left my house about an hour into the acid, spent the better part of an hour lying down staring at the night sky. Acid + sky = magic.

Got up, headed home, walking down the middle of the road at 2am just because I could. No cars around, fun stuff.

That's where the cop comes in. I saw 'a car' coming round the bend, got on the sidewalk, then realized it was a 'cop' car.

He pulled a U at the next intersection to drive past me again. Got out and started talking to me. Normal cop + civilian shit like asking my name and such. I responded openly to all questions asked, and was told to stay on the sidewalk before he drove off. Put a bit of a damper on the trip, but nothing horrible. I suppose it could have been a hell of a lot worse - that same car could easily have turned my blissful trip into a nightmare filled with anxiety and fear.

Last night was interesting.

Without a doubt :)

Staring at the universe is my favorite thing to do on acid.

That's whats nice about (most) psychedelics. Unless you're behind 'that' point, you can stay largely in control when you ABSOLUTELY have to.

Last night was interesting.

To say the least. :) Glad you had a good time.

Your trips sound sick.. I just recently started droppin after years of doin dxm..i find dem both very similar..i enjoy swimmin or just takin a shower.. Also, watchin sports or action movies.. Just layin n listen to music next to a fire is just great too..

My ideal trip would be dropping at around 5pm, in the summer, to come up whilst the sun is setting. With one or two very close friends in the middle of the wilderness, wrapped up very warm, miles and miles from any people or cars or buildings. Man-made structures and objects give me a bad vibe when exploring my mind and the world around me in such a mindset.

Music is a must, some of my best would be Floyd, Grateful Dead and also instrumental bands such as Explosions in the Sky. Take lots of healthy and tasty food, such as fruit and vegetables, anything processed or salty or sugary just does not taste right. A healthy campfire on the go would be awesome, with a few instruments laying around if we so feel the need.

I have to say that I am merely taking the first few steps on my experiences on the road of LSD, and much is left to be discovered. I'd love to trip on a beach under starlight, to hear the roaring of the sea and it's natural power and beauty would be indescribable.

i dont like preparing for trips, i find it just gets annoying trying to keep track of everything.

make sure its a good set before setting. the worst trip i had (not a bad trip, just the worst one) was on HBWR in a went tent and its raining outside. i would be miserable even not on LSA.

i like to be at home with good stuff already in my room. some whipped cream, blank paper, whatever. i find if you look at trippy stuff, it guides the trip for you, where i would rather find trippy stuff in places i wouldnt guess, let my mind wander, make up its OWN trippy stuff.

I'm definitely a fan of heavy doses and really going all out when it comes to acid. Nitrous is a must, and good bud can certainly make things more enjoyable when you're coming up or down.

I usually dose by myself and listen to music throughout most of the trip. I have certain songs that I pretty much have to listen to every acid trip. My bedroom is very tripped out, and I usually spend most of my trip there or outside in my backyard watching the stars.

Night tripping is a must for me. I usually dose around 10 or 11 at night. There's nothing I love more than coming down from a magical trip as the sun rises and just feeling at peace with all existence.

I often paint during the come down (I'm an artist) and I usually find that a good way to relax after a long night of frying. I also enjoy making music while tripping, I usually do it for at least half an hour every time I trip.

I've never had an acid trip that I didn't enjoy or feel like I came out a stronger and wiser person from. I'm sure there's more but I am pretty spaced right now. :D

absolutely.

kwerjack, check your email. Assuming your correct email was in your profile.

Anyway,

i dont like preparing for trips, i find it just gets annoying trying to keep track of everything.

The only preparing I do, really, is meditation (mind) and yoga (body) for about a week before the trip. I find I'm much more mentally and physically relaxed for the trip, which are generally very taxing on your mind and body.

My original post is mostly just comprised of my favorite things to do while tripping. Stars and fire are definitely up there.


in a wet tent and its raining outside. i would be miserable even not on LSA.

That doesn't sound the least bit enjoyable :(

some whipped cream

You should check ebay for nitrous chargers and a whipped cream dispensers. Two chargers, which fill up a balloon, is about the same amount you'll find in a can of whipped cream, and they're much, much cheaper. Plus, as theta said, you don't get any whipped cream when you're done. That's a waste of some perfectly good cream. :)

You can find bulk cases for a very good price if you look in the right places. Keep in mind, it's legal in most states.

Having a case or two of nitrous while tripping is pure bliss man. :D

I think that the shouldn't be a set agenda, but preparing and gather props before hand is never a bad idea. I would love to go tripping with you man!

Mine arrived a day late for my last acid trip :(.

Well, it would have to be.

Six friends. In a house that two of them grew up in.
With a trampoline and a pool in the back yard.
Where we trip by day and night. Smoke weed in the Bat cave.
Drink more than we should. Eat less than we should.


Starry nights with ecstasy & mushroom breaks.
And nothing but love.







I miss last summer.

oh boy, so many little things that make it oh so amazing.
But really, all I need for an acid trip is my bass (which is actually a big wooden snake as I discovered through many trips), my ipod, and nature.


oh, food is also AMAZING with acid. I once had this chocolate desert; I felt like an aztec king.
It was the most delicious, warm and drippy chocolate thing I ever had. I will never forget the taste of it.

A more planned trip:
Complete isolation with my best friend in the park by my community.
It's beautiful even while sober, and makes for intense trips with lots of colorful plants and a very psychedelic atmosphere with lots of that grass that contains dmt.
There's a rocking chair underneath a low tree, and you have a big view of all the mountains in my area from that chair.

I would bring everything already listed, but also:
Salvador Dali paintings
Camel turkish royals (The pattern on the filter is interesting while tripping)
A can of monster (This is different all the time though...sometimes a can tastes amazing, sometimes it tastes like synthetic garbage and you can feel how it absorbs into your tongue)
Some playing cards
The Great Gatsby
A boomerang
NITROUS
those color changing flames (very good idea)
an eighth of sativa dominant
some black powder
much more
I wana do acid now

Darkus man, you the man.

If all else fails, music is all you need for a good trip. :)

I like playing with lit cigarettes. This one time I lit a cig and just moved it around and watched it burn away, mesmerized by the smoke. Didn't take a single drag from it.

I also like drawing things in the air for my friends with the lit cherry, or write things in cursive.

NITROUS

ALWAYS.

Darkus man, you the man.

Aw, shucks. *looks down and kicks a pebble*

I really like to write, at least on lower dosages and usually at some point 4+ hours in, words come really easily. The worst thing about it is that usually the people I'm around are too dumb to understand exactly what I'm saying. They're just like "man you're not making sense" and what do you say to that? No amount of insistence will make someone understand you when they can't remember what you said at the start of your sentence.

So I like to trip alone most of the time, and at night.

Oh, and this thread has inspired me to trip tonight.

I just recently hung up some glowing stars on my ceiling fan so that when in motion it looks like a spiral.

I'm proud. :3

I wish I had a ceiling fan =(

I can't fall asleep without it on. But then again it is 93 FUCKING DEGREES OUT AT NIGHT.

I don't have a ceiling fan, but I have a window air conditioner :D

tried it for the first time yesterday. not bad, next time i need more

What's this? Someone other than Darkus playing necromancer to his fading pet threads? My... :p

Inorite?

I'm as astonished as you.

my best trips have been when ive taken another hit around 4 in the morning, to intensify the sunrise. go somewhere over water, something with an amazing view.


watch the sunrise and the ripples in the water. its peaceful.


then when thats all over and done with the day just started and your peaking again.

so run around outside. play with some animals. go in the water.

you cant really lose when tripping at dawn on a nice day.

Okay, correct me if I'm wrong...

You like rebuilding engine blocks while smoking blunts and cigarettes...right? Right?

Well, the farthest I got while tripped out was tearing down the upper half of a motor. We got all the bracketing, intake and cracked most of the header bolts and then I stripped a ton of header bolts with an air wrench and decided we were finished for the night because you gotta use an air chisel to bust the stripped bolt heads off . And it wasn't LSD, it was 2cb. Strangely I have heard nothing about lucy being around here this summer, but I really haven't had my ears open...

It was really nutty because I kept stumbling upon the thought that I was ripping apart a motor while my personality was getting ripped apart for me to see. And there was also a weird presence of the thought of what I was doing being some kind of strange Satan worship involving the sacramental bromine and the shortblock of a 350 as the alter...

Doing something while you're tripping makes the trip 100x better than just sitting their looking at posters, watching movies and listing to cliche music. It distracts me enough that I don't just sit there and think negative thoughts...

i had the best trip last weekend, it was oldschool acid that i havent seen in years.. real acid :) was unreal made me remember my roots and how important music is...

It hasn't been said enough this thread....Oranges/clementines

Korg electribe MX-1 + optical theremin + visual synthesizer + TV = greatest eye/ear candy in the world.

Agreed. Personally there's nothing I love more than having a bag of clementines or tangerines and a box of whippets when embarking on an acid trip.

Glad to see this thread is still alive, I'll try and post some good stuff here later.

^Because of the taste?

Woah.. youre from ATX, too.

Acid kills my appetite and makes me sweat a lot, so to prepare for the next 12 hours I'll take a shower and eat a big meal. Then, get together with a few choice friends, and go outside. Anywhere. Dose early in the morning, probably around 9 or 10. Go to a park and let the acid start to do its magic. Enjoy the scenery, watch the water, the trees, feel the grass and the sun. Every touch, smell, sound, feels heavenly. Watch the clouds drift by. Drink orange juice. lots and lots of orange juice.

Other than that, just do what comes. I can't imagine adding a schedule or trying to structure an acid trip at all. What to do will come to me while I'm tripping. And ideas usually come from exploring. One time my friend and I walked about 40 blocks, exploring all the little trails of golden gate park and the streets of the sunset. Usually I'll just stare at things. Watch the grass ripple and sway and form itself into checkerboard and spiral patterns. Watch flowers bloom and wither. Watch the dirt re-arrange itself into tiny faces. Basically just notice everything. Play games in my head with distance and perspective.

Listen to good music on the comedown. Drive on the comedown. Drive while listening to good music on the comedown.

i love how easy it is to find some doses in that park

Golden Gate parks hippies FTW....You can live and that park and noone would find you for years...someone may stumble across you but to hide in that park is like trying to find a needle in the ocean haha

yeah man that park is all around great. i got 2 hits yesterday and thought i would go trail riding through it yesterday. the acid really made me push myself and i discovered a bunch of shit in that park. the have opium poppy, buffalo, windmills, beaches, hippies, museums. greatness.
